Window it is offense and bad not good for the neighbors and the pole will be higher and out of alignment and ill point out it is not just verizon putting this in at t and every other Wireless Company there are thirty some or 40 on russian hill how many at t and, etc. So thats my statement for the brand new barksubakers and ive lived on russian hill for 38 years and live within a half a block from the site this year appealed today so my comments relate to all of the items before you flae under grounding wont happen tomorrow or today or next week we need improved service now we have a lot of dropped calls and the view streets that were shown in the photographs to me are all right. Ugly i drive them every single day and work at home and i use both the cell phone i dont have a landline its very, very important to me they work properly im constantly having dropped coverage with my ipad individual concerns with the aesthetics are over blown given the need for Better Communications beyond abo

What is on path and technology and i the Computer Science degree. I ended up being a photographer doing underwater pictures. I have been stuck back into technology recently. I am jonathan downey, the founder and ceo of airware. I started at boeing working on helicopter systems. I was briefly an airline pilot. I started airware to address some problems that i saw as an undergrad at m. I. T. In developing drones for specific applications. We develop platform of software and hardward that power drones. One thing we dont do is actually build the drones ourselves. I am the founder and ceo of skycatch. We build fully economist ground robots for collecting data. Some of our clients use these robots to collected all across their job sites. My goal is to help all of these companies with logistics. Help them optimize process and safety. I am very thankful to be here. First question is for chris where are we today with the underlying technologies that make these possible and where is it heading .
And operate, where there is very little air and where you need an incredibly light aircraft, which is in most cases not incredibly sturdy. But you have to fly through all the other layers of airspace to get up there. That is a difficult challenge. That is an altitude that is nearing space, so you have to harden the electronics and software to deal with things ike radiation. After dinner, you were talking about the fundamental technology. Similar to the technology of atellites. One thing we think a lot about, are we competing with satellite . The microsats, between elon musk and planet labs, map box, just bought by google, we saw this before. 15 years ago it was satellite phones versus cell phones. You put 64 satellites out there and cover the world. Why would you put cell phone towers every three miles . That is crazy, so expensive. Well, we saw how that ended up. It turned out the higher bandwidth and resolution of the terrestrial network beat the reach of the satellite network. Right
Coming up with a number so low. Where is the value today . How is it going to evolve over time . Clearly, there is money in hardware. It starts with hardware and then becomes data. It becomes services. Right now, these things are basically a way to get sensors in the sky. What you do is a big opportunity. We make money from hardware today. We are essentially a software company. We are very happy to have other people make the hardware. At the end of the day, no one cares about the drone, they care about what he can do. Whether that is video, pure data its about the cloud service. Fast forward what these guys are doing which is enabling the public to do what uber did for anyone to be a driver. You can be an agent and provide services to people that you couldnt do before. It could be a a search and rescue person with a drone and utilize these drones to find people with the data. The amount of things that will show up in the next three or five years will be unimaginable today. The value wi
